Topic: Questions for Hasbro? (Read 61997 times)

Dear Hasbro,with the exception of the already confirmed AT-ST Driver are there any other Imperial Officers slated for the 2010/ 2011 line up? Since this year marks the 30th anniversary of TESB how high are the chances for new, SA versions of Admiral Ozzel, General Veers, Lieutenant Sheckil and the long overdue Admiral Piett?

Given I've pretty much lost the ability to find Legacy toys locally as Hasbro Canada is not distributing them, I've been relying on HTS.com but it's been two months or so since anything new has popped up there and I check regularly. Are they having their own internal distribution issues?

I started collecting Star Wars when I took my 3 year old son (now 6) to go see ROTS at the dollar theater (I wasn't sure how well he would do since it was his first theater experience). Well, not only did he love the movie but he also loved the toys he saw on the store shelves. So I started collecting for my son while reliving my childhood through him during the Saga 2006 line. Since that time I have really closed the gap on obtaining definitive versions of almost all characters that have been made since POTF2 for my son to play with and have in our collection. One of the very few characters I haven't felt compelled to purchase in the after market yet is Aurra Sing - all of her current releases have very little articulation. My question to you is how far down your list is a new, super articulated, Aurra Sing in a realistic format?

Dear Hasbro.I was very happy to see that you’ve included Rahm Kota’s Militia Elite in the upcoming TFU figure packs. As a big fan of the game I love the design of Kota’s Troopers, especially the resemblance to the Rebel troopers from the OT. Do you have any plans to release the Militia Trooper and the Saboteur in the near future?

Dear Hasbro.The head sculpt and rank badge of the new AT-AT Commander suggests that this figure is supposed to be a generic imperial officer. Why did you choose to go for an off-screen character instead of producing the much demanded super articulated General Veers? Do you have any plans to redo Veers in the next few years?Also while the new AT-AT Commander figure itself looks damn good the chest armor doesn’t seem to be bluish enough. Will this be corrected before the release?

Heres one that I think another site might be asking, but I would like it answered to, hopefully.

The figures and cards shown at Toy Fair look fantastic! However, Dak was the only figure that has never come out on a card and could be considered "New." Will the Vintage line contain any previously unmade charcaters, or is it going to be made up of repaints, retools and (very well made) resculpts?

Hasbro - would it be possible for you to give us some insight as to the rundown of the first two waves of Clone Wars figures in the "Shadow of the Dark Side" packaging? Specifically it would be great if you could give us a numerical list. Same question for the Vintage figures - could you provide a list of what the Vintage figures will be in the first two waves and what their numbers will be?

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

I have been a complete carded collector since the introduction of the POTF2 wave. Along with many others, I'm very excited about the vintage line coming our way later in the year. I'm curious to know if you have ever given consideration to selling some kind of collector boxes for those of us who keep our figures carded. Not talking about individual carded figs, but rather something that would help store and/or display larger numbers of carded figures (12, 20, 24, etc.). I know that I and other carded collectors typically have a hodgepodge of boxes used to store our figures, but I would be willing to pay for a standardized case/box that could hold my carded collection.

Hasbro: in an earlier Q&A you said that there had been plans to have a Padme Mighty Mugg and an unreleased Ahsoka shows up on the box of the last wave released. Can you say which characters were in the first cancelled wave (ie., would have been released next if the line had continued)?

We know Ewoks are no longer two a pack so can we expect the same treatment for Podracers?For example If Ratts Tyrell was to be released in early 2011 should we expect accessories or someone to keep him company?
